NEW YORK (AP) — William H. Macy has earned critical acclaim for playing nerdy asexual characters in films such as "Fargo" and "Magnolia." But he says his role as a conniving deadbeat dad on Showtime's "Shameless" series is turning him into a sex symbol.

In a recent interview, Macy says he was hit on by "two seriously good-looking women" while filming in Chicago. He was so surprised that he turned around to see if their attention was meant for someone else.
